The City Council.

The City Council continued their • sessions every night last week, except Saturday night, mainly in consideration of the near set of ordinances; • and still another meeting was held < Monday night of this week. The salaries of the city officers were fixed as follows. Mayor and Councilmen, two dollars for each session of the Council, Clerk $l5O per year, and |2 for each special session. and 125 for making tax duplicate and 10 cents per 100 words for record, other that minutes of Council meetings. , The Street Committee was order to provide a wooden bridge over Makemself Ditch, near Jared Benjamin’s place. Monday night about a mile of old sidewalks were condemned. Quite an interesting discussion took place over the point whether the five or six nights devoted to considering ordinances should be considered, for salaray purposes of Councilmen, as one continued adjourned meeting, with pay for only one, or each meeting be considered a session with pay accordingly.. The proposition to consider them all as only one meeting was carried by the Mayor’s casting vote, the vote of the Councilmen being a tie..

Judge Wiley Gets Hurt.

While Judge Wiley was leading his horse out of the pasture Monday ' evening the animal gave an unexpected jump throwing Mr. Wiley prone on the ground. On the end of the halter-strap was an iron hook. The strap slipped rapidly and the hook caught on the fleshy outer portion of the hand and tore its way across the palm, making a very mean fol wound. He was dragged some distance but fortunately the horse stopped, when the hook was taken out and he got to the house someway. Dr. Mavity was called and dressed the injury.—Fowler Republican.

More Shooting at Shelby.

Another shooting Affair and one that has since proved to be a murder by the death of the victim, took place at Water Valley, or South Shelby, Sunday morning. ’ Andrew DeFries, landlord’Of the Sollars House, was the in in-shot, and/ Herman Hasper, his brother-in-law, shot him. De Fries kept the hotel and Hasper managed the saloon in connection. DeFries invited Christie Vick, our townsman, to give a dance at his pl&e', Saturday night. Hasper made a kick about the dance, but finally consented for it to come off. It was held Saturday night, and Hasper was there in a very ugly mood. He tried to pick a quarrel with Vick, and once followed him out doors, with the evident intention of doing him up. Sunday morning, at breakfast, at the Sollan house, De Fries asked Hasper why he had-not helped serve the supper at the dance that night. Hasper answered that it was not any of De Fries’———business. De Fries then struck at Hasper with his fist, not reaching him however. Hasper at once drew a big revolver and shot De Fries in the abdomen, the bullet striking about the upper part of the bowels; doctors were sent for, from Rose Lawn and Lowell, but when they arrived they found De Fries bleeding inwardly, and evidently mortally wounded. He lingered nearly two days, and died Tuesday morning about four o’clock. B. D. McColly, Deputy Sheriff of Jasper Co., happened to be at Vick’s place, Sunday, and he and Vick arrested Hasper and took him to Crown Point, where he was lodged in jail.
